Simply Tasheena: March 2015

Soooo, right now I'm on a no sugar/ flour challenge and I was beyond excited to find this recipe on Pinterest. This could possibly be a one bowl recipe. However, opted combine the honey and peanut butter on the stove.

( peanut butter & honey)

(oats)

I opted to use parchment paper and I did not have to add any oil or butter to assist with non-sticking.

(sorry for the blurry pic)

I used a pizza cutter to cut these pretty large square because I'm pretty greedy.

Recipe: HERE

Playing around with the Rule of Thirds...

While minding my business, my sister called me to see if I wanted to go to one of our favorite consignment stores together. Me trying not to be an impulse shopper I decided to pass on the invite…So of cause naturally I was on the phone with her the entire time she was shopping. She stated that she came across these super cute Prada boots for toddlers. I asked her to text me a picture. What I didn’t notice at the time was she also texted me pictures of two fur coats. One coat being $100 and the other being $40. I immediately called her and asked if she could purchase the $40 coat and I would repay her (I have been searching for a cheap fur coat)... Of course I realized that I had a coupon to take an additional 15% off the total picture, she actually had the same coupon as well and offered to use hers. I paid a whopping $41 dollars for this gorgeous brownness coat of above and since Mother Nature is doing her thing we still haven’t been formally introduced to spring yet this year. I may get a couple of wears out of this bad boy until spring decides to show her face.

This morning was one of those mornings where I wanted my food to get in my belly now! I was in the mood for waffles or pancakes. However, didn't feel like running to the store for milk. I opted to eat something that I had all of the ingredients at on hand.

I decided to with a veggie omelette. What better way to start my morning off? Mushrooms, red onions, tomatoes, cheese and green peppers.

I started off by sautéing everything except for the tomatoes and of course the cheese on medium heat. I used four eggs and waited for the veggies to finish sautéing and whisked the eggs in a bowl and added a dash of sea salt to the eggs. I added the eggs to the mixture, and added the tomatoes and cheese once the omelette was almost finished cooking.

Disclaimer: I'm not the best at making the perfect omelette. However, I do what works best for me.

Monday-Friday I try to start my morning off with a nice hot cup of green tea with a little cream and sugar. I typically don’t get a chance to eat breakfast before starting my day. So this cup gives me the little boost I need to keep going.

I've always wanted to make homemade donuts. However, the lazy girl in me never decided to give it a try until last weekend. I had everything on hand except for unsalted butter (and a donut cutter) and I was super excited. The only problem was that I forgot the dough had to rest for several hours in my case overnight.

( I did not have a donut cutter, so I used a mug and a piping bag tip)

The next morning I was super excited to get started and trying out the donuts. I was even more excited that the donuts actually raised a little in my drafty house.

I decided to not do a step by step picture post seeing how the recipe I used included all of this awesomeness here.

I was super excited about how fluffy the donuts came out and trust me I ate a good amount too. I plain on trying the copycat Krisy Kreme recipe soon.

Anywho, have you tried any new recipes lately?

Yesterday while running errands I decided to stop by a nearby Salvation Army. With no “wish list” in mind, I really was checking out what they have at this particular store. I noticed that this store really carries a lot of furniture. Pretty good quality furniture at that, seeing how our vegan leather sofas are a hot mess, these last couple of weeks I have been on the lookout for a sofa until the meantime of purchasing new ones. However, that has changed up until me finding sofa slip covers 70% off at Target over the weekend.

Any who, While at the store. The beauties below caught my eye.
